What was wrong
Defect
Dennis Eagle Inc. (Dennis Eagle) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Dennis Eagle Elite garbage trucks. The ignition barrels on these vehicles may have been improperly secured, allowing the housing to rotate freely and ignition wiring to become detached, possibly resulting in a stall.
Risk
A vehicle stall can increase the risk of a crash.
Manufacturer remedy
Dennis Eagle will notify owners, and dealers will install a metal anti-rotation ring to keep the ignition barrel secured, free of charge. The recall began October 2, 2018. Owners may contact Dennis Eagle customer service at 1-813-440-8136.
